Chapter 1: Normal Day, I think NOT

Darry was always the first up at our house. Soda was normally the second and I was third. Today for some reason I was up before Soda. I turn around to see him sleeping peacefully, so I slowly pulled the covers back and hoped out of bed. I walked to the door and opened it. You probably could have heard a pin drop, this is weird I thought Darry would be up by now I thought to myself beginning to walk down the stairs. Sure enough he was up reading the newspaper. He turned when he heard the floor creaking sound. "Hey Pony you are up early" he said in a surprised tone.

"Ya I couldn't sleep no more." I say before I add "Looks like Two-bit's been drinkin' already this morning"

Two-bit staggered into our house and pulled me into a head lock. "Look Superman, its alive early this morning" two-bit almost sang. I then heard the floor squeak and Soda appeared at the top of the stairs. He ran down them and playfully tacked Two-bit and I to the floor.

"Alright you three before someone end's up hurt" Darry called from dad's chair. He had the paper off to the side down and he was watching Two-bit and Soda wrestle to see who got the remote first. I walked to the kitchen to fetch myself some breakfast before I had to run off to school. I hurt our door open and saw Steve come in and jump on the couch. This was a typical morning at our house except I was already up.

"Come on Soda let Two-bit have the remote. We got to get goin'" Steve bellowed at Soda who was sitting on Two-bits back pulling on his one arm. Those two could play like that for hours and would have if Steve wouldn't have stepped it and pulled Soda off.

"Come on Steve, we got time" Soda protested before playfully pulling Steve into a head lock. I then saw Dally and Johnny walk in. Johnny looked like he had gotten beat by his parents again because his eye was all puffy and had a slight trace of purple outlining it. Dally looked like he was pissed at some one. I figured it was Tim Shepard. I had heard that he tried to slash Dally's tires the other day. I made some scrambled eggs before Two-bit came in and grabbed some chocolate cake and beer out of our refrigerator. Soda ran upstairs and got dressed in his DX shirt and cap. He came running down the stairs and out the door. Steve followed him and they climbed into their car and drove off to work. Darry, had already left, so Two-bit, Johnny, Dally and I were the only ones left in the house. I walked into the living room to see Two-bit with the cake in front of the TV. He was watching Mickey Mouse again. After Mickey was over he got up and left. Johnny and I started out walk to school. We saw a blue mustang drive past but it never stopped. I could tell that Johnny was really happy that it hadn't stopped too.

School was fairly long today. I walked out and Jonny was leaning again the fence smokin' a joint waiting for me. I walked over to him and pulled out a cigarette. "Hey Jonny, got a light" I asked as he pulled out his lighter and lit my cigarette. We smoked as we walked back to my house. Before we got there I heard someone yell "Looky who's out of school already." I turned just as Johnny did to see Two-bit running towards us. I nudged Johnny and took off running. I made it to the yard before Two-bit tackled me and pulled me into a head lock again for the second time.

"UNCLE" I scream at Two-bit after a few minutes of trying to breath. He let me go and started to chase Jonny. I walked into the house to find Two-bit sitting on Johnny. I pushed him off and Two-bit chased me back outside. We wrestled for a good 20 minutes before settling down and walking back inside. At about 5pm Dallas walked into the house and plopped down on the couch next to Johnny.

"Hey there Johnny-boy" Dally said messing Johnny's hair up some.

"Hey Dally" Johnny said before turning back to the TV.

We all normally found ourselves watching Mickey Mouse with Two-bit if we had nothing better to do. I looked at the clock after a two-hour Mickey special was over. It was about 7pm now so that meant that Soda and Steve should be showing up soon. I heard the door open to see just Steve.

"Hey there Steve where's your partner in crime" Two-bit bellowed from the ground looking like he was trying to bend backwards to see Steve. Steve looked like he had a worried look on his face.

"I thought he would be here" Steve commented in a rather worried tone. I looked at him and he looked like he had seen something awful. "Soda left to come home about an hour ago" Steve commented before sitting on the arm of the couch. SODA'S GONE I screamed in my head. I could see I wasn't the only one that looked worried. The DX, where Steve and Soda worked, wasn't that far away. It was about a 5 to 6 minute walk and a 3 minute drive there. Then Darry walked in and surprisingly noticed all of our faces.

"What's going on you guys" Darry asked before sitting down in dad's old chair.

"Soda's missin Superman" Two-bit comment from the floor then turned the TV off.

"He left about an hour before I did" Steve commented. I then saw terror on Darry's face. I could tell that this was going to be a long, long night.
